first embodiment
[0036] Detailed description will be given of the invention below on the basis of the accompanying drawings showing preferred embodiments thereof. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an ultrasonic sensor according to the invention.
[0037] An ultrasonic sensor according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, is, roughly speaking, constituted of a transmitting apparatus 1 according to the invention and a receiving apparatus 2 and further includes a signal processing unit 30. Such a ultrasonic sensor according to the invention is basically configured so that an acoustic wave is transmitted from the transmitting apparatus 1, the acoustic wave reflected by a detection-target object is received by the receiving apparatus 2, whereby a distance therefrom to the detection-target object is detected on the basis of an elapsed time until a reception time point from a transmission time point of the acoustic wave.
[0038] The transmitting apparatus 1 comprises a timing circ...
second embodiment
[0052]FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a ultrasonic sensor according to the invention.
[0053] In FIG. 5, numeral 40 denotes a transmitter / receiver, which is equipped with a piezoelectric element 40a. The piezoelectric element 40a is applied with a voltage outputted from a boosting circuit 12 according to an oscillation signal of a frequency “f” outputted from an oscillator 11a of a driving circuit 11. The piezoelectric element 40a vibrates according to the frequency “f” of the applied voltage given from the boosting circuit 12 and transmits an acoustic wave.
[0054] The transmitter / receiver 40 receives an acoustic wave reflected by a detection-target object to generate an electric signal according to the vibration of the piezoelectric element 40a by the action of the received acoustic wave. The generated electric signal is inputted to the detection circuit 23 through an amplifier 21 and a BPF 22 in a similar way to that in the case of the above mentioned ...
